hackdorte@20008 1 Arpwatch maintains a database of Ethernet MAC addresses seen on the network,
hackdorte@20008 2 with their associated IP pairs. Alerts the system administrator via e-mail if
hackdorte@20008 3 any change happens, such as new station/activity, flip-flops, changed and
hackdorte@20008 4 re-used old addresses.
hackdorte@20008 5
hackdorte@20008 6 Arpsnmp keeps track for ethernet/ip address pairings. It syslogs activity and
hackdorte@20008 7 reports certain changes via email. Arpsnmp reads information from a file
hackdorte@20008 8 (usually generated by snmpwalk(8)).
